Hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced
a deal with his Russian counterpart,
Moscow says negotiations are still underway.
Trump claims Russia will immediately
supply over 300,000 tons of diesel,
with more shipments promised in November and beyond.
Negotiations are currently underway
for contracting agreements with American colleagues
between the Russian Ministry of Energy
and the U.S. Department of Energy,
and a mechanism will be found there to ensure supplies.
Regarding any questions, solutions and proposals for market balancing,
they are positively received by all market participants,
those interested in a stable balance of supply
and demand in stable markets. So that's what we are basing it on.
Trump's announcement comes weeks after Congress passed
legislation directing him to impose steep tariffs
on major buyers of Russian oil and gas.
